Deny Barker-Vormawor bail, he is flight risk, he has no place of abode – AG tells court

Attorney-General , Godfred Dame

The Attorney General, Godfred Yeboah Dame, has told the Tema High Court to deny Convener of the #Fixthecountry Movement, Oliver Barker-Vormawor bail because he has no fixed place of abode.

This makes him flight risk, he said.

“That investigations have revealed that the applicant has no fixed place of abode in Ghana thus making him flight risk,” he said.

Barker-Vormawor was rushed to the Police Hospital in the early hours of Wednesday March 9 after falling ill in Police cell.

A statement issued by the Movement said Barker-Vormawor has been feeling unwell since his detention.

He was arrested for allegedly writing on social media that he would topple the government if the E-levy bill is passed.

“Mr Oliver Baker-Vormawor has been arrested by the Tema Regional Police Command following a post he allegedly made on social media platforms to the effect that he would stage himself if the E-levy bill is passed by Parliament,” portions of the Police statement said.

He was denied bail by the court after being charged with treason felony.
